RUSH: Moving on to Fairless Hills, Pennsylvania, yesterday at the Gamesa Technology Corporation Obama spoke. During the Q&A an unidentified guy said, “You\u2019re talking about the rise of gas prices…” Oh, before that, let me grab this AP story. This is outrageous and hilarious at the same time: “Shoppers shrugged off higher gas prices and cool temperatures to give retailers a surprisingly strong March.” Did you know that? Did you know that you just “shrugged off” high gas prices? Did you pull in the pump, see gas prices and say, “Eh, no big deal. I gotta go to the mall?” Would you ever? <\/p>\n

Gas prices are nearing the $4-a-gallon tipping point nationwide. They\u2019re already at $4 in certain states. Would you ever see a story like this with a Republican president: “Shoppers shrugged off higher gas prices”? Well, the fact is, shoppers and voters are not shrugging off higher gas prices. This guy at Obama\u2019s town hall yesterday in Pennsylvania said to him, “You were talking about the rise of gas prices. I know back in the seventies they were going from our license plates, odd to evens, days we could get gas. I know we\u2019re not at that stage right now but they did lower the prices after that. Is there a chance of the gasoline price being lowered again?” Now, listen to Obama\u2019s answer.<\/p>\n

OBAMA: I\u2019m just gonna be honest with ya. There\u2019s not much we can do next week or two weeks from now. (snickers) If you\u2019re getting eight miles a gallon you may want to think about a trade-in. You can get a great deal. I — I promise you GM, or Ford, they\u2019re — or Chrysler, they\u2019re — gonna be happy to give you a deal on — on something that gets you better gas mileage. Gas prices? They\u2019re gonna still fluctuate until we can start making these broader changes, and that\u2019s gonna take a couple of years to have serious effect.<\/p>\n

RUSH: He\u2019s talking about his “green” energy programs, and they will not be anything productive in two years or 30 years. Oil is it! But that\u2019s not my point. Here is a guy who has an SUV who\u2019s asking about gasoline prices, and Obama says, “Hey, you know what? Eight miles a gallon? You better go get a trade in.” This is a total disconnect. It\u2019s as disconnected as it gets. So may I have the attention of all Americans? All of you who make a living using your trucks, pickup trucks, vans, four-wheel-drive vehicles? All of you painters, you construction workers, delivery men, cabdrivers, even soccer moms?<\/p>\n

Those of you who depend on large vehicles for your business or for the safety of your family, your president has just told you to trade it in for some electric job that his company happens to make. Trade in your vehicles. Go out and buy a subcompact. See, that\u2019s how this works for you. Problem solved, according to Barack Obama. I want to go back to 2005, 2006. The gas price was getting up to four bucks a gallon and George Bush gets a question about it. He says, “Why don\u2019t you go trade in that gas guzzler of yours, pal?” What would the news reports be? They would certainly be focused on the insensitivity of Bush.<\/p>\n

“Well, he doesn\u2019t care what gas costs because we don\u2019t have to buy it and he\u2019s in a limousine that only gets eight miles to the gallon!” Well, so is Obama. Obama\u2019s limo gets eight miles to the gallon. His fleet of security vehicles, Suburbans, they\u2019re not gonna switch out. It\u2019s a classic illustration here of how statists live and work, and you don\u2019t get to play in their league. So you just gotta go trade in your car. You gotta go get a subcompact. You gotta go out and get another car if you want to spend less on gasoline. We\u2019re not gonna drill. We\u2019re not gonna increase our own supply of oil. <\/p>\n

No, we\u2019re gonna hold out for a worthless so-called green energy solution that does not exist and won\u2019t exist for decades — and don\u2019t doubt me. He\u2019s not gonna try to lower prices, he\u2019s not gonna try to lower taxes, he is not gonna lower the corporate tax rate, he\u2019s not gonna take any action that will make the cost of living less because he doesn\u2019t want to. What we need to do is trade in Obama! We bought the wrong president. You have to go trade in your car. He didn\u2019t get an Obama-approved vehicle. Oh, let\u2019s not forget about students and those making at or near the minimum wage. <\/p>\n

If you don\u2019t have a high mileage car, you\u2019re screwed. The president doesn\u2019t care. You got that? Your gas prices are not going down. He doesn\u2019t care. He\u2019s on record as saying he didn\u2019t mind a $4-a-gallon national gasoline price. He was a little upset at how fast it got there, but the overall effect of the price didn\u2019t bother him at all. So what are you gonna do now? You show up, you tell the president of your concern but get eight miles to the gallon, and he tells you to go trade in your vehicle. Well, you might not be able to afford to drive to the polls in 2012 and vote for the idiot who loves high gas prices. That\u2019s what you should tell him. <\/p>\n

Now, this is from a guy who says he “remembers” pumping gas when he was young. We have the audio sound bite. I can\u2019t find it real quick, but he said he remembers what it\u2019s like to pump gas, and that\u2019s when gasoline was cheap. He remembers what it was like to buy gas before he became president, when Bush was president. Gasoline has doubled in price since Obama hit town, and he says buy a new car. The federal deficit has ballooned since Obama hit town. He tells you to trade in your car. He says Sarah Palin is an embarrassment? Yeah, Sarah Palin is an embarrassment. Meanwhile, Obama is destroying the little guy: High gasoline prices, high food prices, inflation on the way. Try that one out, seasoned citizens. All of you on fixed incomes, gas prices are not going down and food prices won\u2019t, either. <\/p>\n

Welcome to Obamaville!<\/p>\n

BREAK TRANSCRIPT<\/p>\n

RUSH: Let\u2019s go to Zanesville, Ohio, as we start on the phones with Joe. Thank you for calling, sir. Great to have you on the EIB Network. Hello.<\/p>\n

CALLER: How you doing, Rush?<\/p>\n

RUSH: Good.<\/p>\n

CALLER: I just came up with the idea that — you hit it on the head when you said let\u2019s not trade in our cars, let\u2019s go one step further, let\u2019s not trade in our cars, let\u2019s not trade in our lives, let\u2019s trade in Obama.<\/p>\n

RUSH: Trade in Obama. Absolutely right. I\u2019m glad you like that.<\/p>\n

CALLER: I come from a state — actually, there\u2019s a picture in the New York Times of Kasich in a little ice cream restaurant in Zanesville, Ohio, and that was the one where I work. I\u2019m actually general manager there, and my boss is not actually a conservative, but he was in Kasich\u2019s boat, and so was I. Now, the thing I come up with is I\u2019m from a state that uses and harvests natural gas, and we\u2019re huge on coal, and alls I hear is we can\u2019t drill for it, we can\u2019t mine for it, and Obama says go trade in your car. Well, I don\u2019t want to trade in my car and he says you can\u2019t do anything about it. Well, you can\u2019t tell me that if he said, okay, go ahead and drill, that the price of gasoline wouldn\u2019t plummet.<\/p>\n

RUSH: Oh, it would. You have to understand. Look, it\u2019s very simple. You\u2019ve laid it out pretty well here. You gonna use coal? No, not gonna use coal. Gasoline, natural gas? No, not gonna do that. Too dangerous, could destroy the planet, blah blah. What do you have? What does all this add up to? You\u2019ve got a guy and a regime full of people who agree with him that their objective now is to preside over the decline of this country to that of a European type socialist state. That\u2019s their objective. There\u2019s a war on prosperity. It\u2019s happening every day and it\u2019s in their policies. There\u2019s a war on prosperity. There\u2019s no doubt about it. We\u2019ve got two and a half years under our belt of regime policies and we see the results of regime policies.<\/p>\n

Now, anybody who really cared about reversing this would see that after two and a half years their policies aren\u2019t working. They would engage to improve them, maybe alter them a bit so that you get a different result. No, we\u2019re doubling down on the same stuff that got us where we are. So you go to a windmill company, a guy asks you about eight miles to the gallon in his SUV, and the president says, “Trade it in.” And he goes to Sharpton\u2019s group says, (paraphrasing) “Yeah, look, you can count on me. I know what it was like to pump gas.” When did he ever pump gas? We\u2019ve been told in his books that the only job he\u2019s ever had working one day at a Baskin-Robbins. Now, we do know that he felt like he was across enemy lines working at some law firm for a while. But he worked at a Baskin-Robbins, which is why he claimed he hated ice cream, which turned out to be another lie. He loves ice cream. <\/p>\n

Now, don\u2019t you think that if Obama pumped gas that we would have some of the people he worked for and worked with coming forward to brag about it? “Oh, yeah, I pumped gas with Obama.” I mean this Titcomb guy out there soliciting prostitutes, he\u2019s a good buddy of Obama. Maybe this guy can recall the days that Obama pumped gas. I wouldn\u2019t be surprised if this is another made-up story, just on the fly, wasn\u2019t on a prompter, so all bets are off. “Yeah, yeah, I pumped gas,” like the one about him being conceived by his parents while they were in Selma. He actually said that. He said that his parents got the idea when they were in Selma. He said it when he was in Selma, talking about the movement. We borrow $4 billion a day from China and we are arguing over the difference between 30 and $70 billion in cuts here and whether or not we are going to shut down the government over this. <\/p>\n

Obama said, “At a time when the economy is still coming out of an extraordinarily deep recession, it would be inexcusable given the relatively narrow differences when it comes to numbers between the two parties, that we can\u2019t get this done when it comes to numbers between the two parties that we can\u2019t get this done.” He said that last night at the White House. I guess he wants to own the budget negotiations now, like owning the mob in Egypt. But he goes away all day, comes back late at night, then summons everybody to the White House for a meeting to make it look like he\u2019s intimately involved in all of this, but note the priority. The priority was the reelection campaign and shoring up what apparently is a weakening support in the black community.<\/p>\nBREAK TRANSCRIPT<\/p>\n

RUSH: By the way, the AP has scrubbed Obama\u2019s eight mile per gallon remark from their story, the comment that he made. The original article read, “The president chided one questioner, saying: ‘If you\u2019re complaining about the price of gas and you\u2019re only getting 8 miles a gallon, you know, you might want to think about a trade-in.'” Let\u2019s grab that sound bite. This is what Obama said, the original AP story reported this. <\/p>\n

OBAMA: I\u2019m just gonna be honest with ya. There\u2019s not much we can do next week or two weeks from now. (snickers) If you\u2019re getting eight miles a gallon you may want to think about a trade-in. You can get a great deal. I — I promise you GM, or Ford, they\u2019re — or Chrysler, they\u2019re — gonna be happy to give you a deal on — on something that gets you better gas mileage. Gas prices? They\u2019re gonna still fluctuate until we —<\/p>\n

RUSH: That\u2019s enough, that\u2019s enough, that\u2019s enough. So you heard it. If you\u2019re getting eight miles a gallon, you may want to think about a trade-in. The AP reported that Obama made the comment laughingly, but the quote has been scrubbed from the story that they link. It\u2019s been scrubbed. AP just took it out. They just took it out. We\u2019ve got it here. They just took it out of there. (laughing) Obviously there was no prompter. The question is did AP do it on their own or did somebody from the White House call \u2019em? I bet they got the call, too, but I\u2019ll bet they woulda done it on their own. I bet there was somebody at AP that said, “You know, this is really kind of bad.”<\/p>\n

By the way, folks, my car gets eight miles to the gallon and I\u2019m honored. I\u2019m proud. I chose my car for that reason. Well, no, I can\u2019t honestly say I chose it for that reason. But I chose it knowing full well. That didn\u2019t deter me at all. No, it did not deter me at all. And I love my car. Finest car I\u2019ve ever driven. No, if I trade it in it\u2019s gonna be for a new one of the same kind \u2019cause it\u2019s three years old now. It\u2019s got 11,000 miles on it. (laughing) You should see Snerdley and Dawn. (laughing) I do. Folks, I\u2019ve got a Mercedes SL 65 AMG, it\u2019s a convertible. This thing, it\u2019s the same engine as the Maybach has, it just weighs about one-third the Maybach, but it, too, if it had the weight would only get eight miles to the gallon. That car has about 8,000 miles on it. But we have six in the fleet. Mostly we got four SUVs. I don\u2019t drive those, but I would bet you my fleet, combined gas mileage, is nine. I am not going to trade-in anything I\u2019ve got for one of Obama\u2019s cars. <\/p>\n

You know, I see Priuses. There\u2019s people driving these Priuses and I know that some of them probably think they\u2019re helping, but other people are doing it just to make a statement. It\u2019s like wearing one of the red ribbons or blue ribbons. I love giving those cars enemas. I mean I love getting just as close to \u2019em as I can in the back, and they\u2019re looking at me in their rearview mirror, and I just wave at \u2019em. And these people generally always drive like four to five miles an hour under the speed limit, so, you know, I love pulling out, going parallel with them and then goosing it awhile, just to say, “Here, breathe my fumes. Look at me destroying the planet.” Oh, I love it. I absolutely do. But as I say it\u2019s time for a trade-in, maybe. And if I do get a new version of that, because I\u2019m sure that they\u2019ve upgraded the electronics in it, the gadgetry on the dashboard and stuff.<\/p>\n

BREAK TRANSCRIPT<\/p>\n

RUSH: Eric in Chittenango, New York (not to be confused with Chattanooga, Tennessee). Hello.<\/p>\n

CALLER: Hi, Rush. Great to speak to you.<\/p>\n

RUSH: Thank you very much, sir.<\/p>\n

CALLER: Rush, with Obama being the smartest man in the world saying that he can\u2019t control the price of gas and we gotta get used to it, he just needs to look back two years when gas was at $4.12 in June — $4.12 — and then immediately in June, George W. came out and told Congress that we need to searching for more oil in the states and the gas then plummeted to the end of the year to $1.61.<\/p>\n

RUSH: Well, that\u2019s partially the reason for it. Spectators also had a lot to do with the price of oil jumping up to $150 a barrel, but just to show you it again — because you\u2019re right — Obama, when he says there\u2019s nothing we can do to lower the price of oil or gasoline, then what would be the point of releasing oil from the strategic reserves, which Obama has called for a number of times? We don\u2019t have a shortage. We\u2019ve never a shortage of gasoline or oil. Well, we did for a couple days after Katrina, but in terms just fundamental, systematic shortage we\u2019ve not had. Yet when the price was skyrocketing up to four bucks I think it was Obama who joined the chorus of releasing oil from the strategic reserves. Why? Because the additional volume, theoretically, would lower the price — although there isn\u2019t enough volume in our strategic reserves to significantly lower the price, and certainly not for any protracted length of time.<\/p>\n

RUSH: Ralph in Fort Scott, Kansas. You\u2019re next on the Rush Limbaugh program. Hi.<\/p>\n

CALLER: Rush, hello. It\u2019s an honor to talk to you, sir.<\/p>\n

RUSH: Thank you, sir.<\/p>\n

CALLER: I just wanted to make a comment. You were talking about how our president told that gentleman he should trade in his eight mile to the gallon vehicle. Well, I happen to have one of them myself, and nicely enough it\u2019s paid off, and I can\u2019t see trading it in on the cost of a new vehicle between 30 and $40,000, and in the part of Kansas where I live, sir, that will buy you a house.<\/p>\n

RUSH: (laughing) <\/p>\n

CALLER: I mean if our president decides to trade in one of his limousines for a Smart Car —<\/p>\n

RUSH: How big a house? I gotta know this. How big a house? <\/p>\n

CALLER: Oh, you could get a two, three, four-bedroom house for that kind of money in some places in Kansas.<\/p>\n

RUSH: That\u2019s incredible. Well, you know, I did, I bought a little property in Missouri just to be loyal to the state about four years ago, bought a little property there, and — (laughing) — I get my property tax bill for it, and I think, “This can\u2019t be.” I mean it\u2019s less than my gasoline payment every month.<\/p>\n

CALLER: I\u2019m gonna be in so much trouble for talking to you, Rush.<\/p>\n

RUSH: Why?<\/p>\n

CALLER: Well, my mom listens to you every day down in New Mexico, and she\u2019s probably hearing me right now so I\u2019m probably gonna catch it later.<\/p>\n

RUSH: Why would your mom be upset with you listening and talking to the program? Does she think you\u2019re at work or something?<\/p>\n

CALLER: No, no, no, she loves listening to you every day, and, I don\u2019t know, she might be a little bit ticked that I got in.<\/p>\n

RUSH: Oh, oh, oh, the jealous anger? I got it. I got it. Okay, well, let me run through this again because we\u2019re in sort of a jocular mood here today, but this four-dollar-a-gallon gasoline comment, I mean it\u2019s not enough to say it\u2019s insensitive. It\u2019s an in-your-face kind of thing. How many people drive SUVs because they have to for their jobs or their families? How many people make a living with their pickup trucks, their four-wheel-drive vehicles? You\u2019ve got contractors, painters, construction workers, delivery people, cabdrivers, soccer moms, for crying out loud, car poolers. Not everybody can start tooling around in one of these little matchbox jobs that gets 75 miles, whatever they get, not everybody can do that. That\u2019s what they want, though. They want us all in these little matchbox cars or on mass transit. That\u2019s what they want because they\u2019re central planners. It\u2019s just better that way. It\u2019s better for the environment; it\u2019s better for congestion; it\u2019s better for traffic. It doesn\u2019t matter whether it\u2019s better for us or not.<\/p>\n

Obama\u2019s part of this crowd of people that just loves bossing people around, and more and more bureaucracies, federal and state, are made up of people who just like bossing other people around. But there are a lot of people who depend on large vehicles for their living and for safety, and the president seems to have literally no understanding of that, and if he does understand it, he doesn\u2019t care, which is either just as bad or worse. <\/p>\n

News from the AP. Just flashed. “White House says that the Republican one week budget extension is a distraction –Obama has threatened to veto it.” So it\u2019s nice to see that a continuing resolution that would allow the Army to keep getting paid is a distraction. You Republicans have got to focus on this. They did not succeed in separate legislation to fund uniformed military personnel. They will not be paid if this shutdown happens, and this shutdown is gonna happen because of a Barack Obama veto. A Democrat is gonna veto a one-week continuing resolution. It\u2019s not a budget for the entire year, a one-week continuing resolution with a differential spread of $30 billion. <\/p>\n

Chump change. Now, this convinces me even more that they\u2019ve got polling data that shows that the Republicans, I guess, are gonna end up taking more blame for this than the Democrats. What else could it be? What else could explain the total change in attitude from yesterday to today? Yesterday it was the Democrats scared to death. Starting last night into today they are just excited as they can be about this shutdown coming. But it\u2019s nice to see that a continuing resolution that would allow the Army to keep getting paid is a distraction. Social Security recipients are gonna get paid. Medicare\/Medicaid, they\u2019re gonna get paid. Military people will not be paid. <\/p>\n

Thank you, President Obama. <\/p>\n

Steve, Bakersfield, California, welcome to the EIB Network. Hello, sir.<\/p>\n

CALLER: Hello, Rush. Pleasure to talk with you.<\/p>\n

RUSH: Thank you, sir.<\/p>\n

CALLER: It\u2019s been awhile. Rush, the clip you played of Obama dealing with the eight mile a gallon car the guy was driving.<\/p>\n

RUSH: Yeah.<\/p>\n

CALLER: You or Paul Shanklin have gotta put together a used car salesman clip, commercial, using that clip.<\/p>\n

RUSH: Make Obama out to be a used car salesman?<\/p>\n

CALLER: He sounded like one. (imitating Obama) “Come on in. We got a deal for you. It\u2019s about time you do a trade-in.”<\/p>\n

RUSH: (laughing) <\/p>\n

CALLER: “Come on down to Obama Motors!”<\/p>\n

RUSH: “I\u2019m sure they\u2019ll make you good deal,” right.<\/p>\n

CALLER: Yeah.<\/p>\n

RUSH: Well, let me ask you something. Were you motivated to go trade your car in after hearing Obama say that?<\/p>\n

CALLER: Oh, yeah.<\/p>\n

RUSH: You were?<\/p>\n

CALLER: Oh, yeah, there was a line around the block.<\/p>\n

RUSH: All right, I wasn\u2019t. I don\u2019t think he\u2019s that good a salesman. But you\u2019re right, it\u2019s worthy of a parody, “Come on down, have we got a deal for you.” Great you called, Steve. Thanks much.<\/p>\n
